| UK Elections: London Mayor Sadiq Khan Wins Historic Third Term |
His record third mayoral palm came after the trouble of a Tory swell in the cities simply faded. Mr Khans' winning periphery was 275,000 votes and his 44 shares equalled what he achieved in 2016. Yet there was bitterness in his palm speech, condemning the non-stop negativity of his Tory opponent. The crusade has taken its risk. His pledge of a safer, fairer, greener capital brought out his sympathisers. He also looks to have succeeded in prevailing Green and Liberal Democrat choosers to advance their support to him in the mayoralty while advancing their natural choices for the London Assembly. This was apparent in south London where the Lib Dems won their first-ever constituency Assembly seat but Mr Khan comfortably outpolled Ms Hall. There was relief in the Labour camp after a crusade where it didn't appear easy for Mr Khan to defend his record. sanctioned numbers published a week from polling day showed cutter crime offences in the capital up 20 in the last time. Over eight times the increase was lesser still.
